42Gears SureMDM Adds New Security Features For Android Devices

July 12, 2011 - PRLog -- 42Gears Mobility Systems today announces latest release of its mobile device management platform.

Latest release of SureMDM adds application protection and lockdown on Android devices, allowing IT to restrict users to access only approved applications. All other applications and system settings are password protected. This feature also blocks the user from installing any third-party applications.

“New security feature secures android smartphones against malware attacks caused by rogue third-party applications. In the absence of such protection users can unknowingly install malicious applications from the marketplace or elsewhere. These apps can compromise the corporate information stored on the phone. Further, many rogue applications can root the Android devices exposing them to more serious attacks.”  said Onkar Singh, Managing Director, 42Gears Mobility Systems.

SureMDM gives complete visibility to organizations about how the corporate phones and handhelds are being used, their health status and advanced capability to IT for remotely resolving issues on the mobile devices even when they are in the field.

Besides, SureMDM also has various other security features such password policy enforcement, remote lock, data wipe and location tracking. IT team uses them to protect the business data from falling into wrong hands and attempt to recover the phone in case it is lost or stolen.
